In Germany the boar hunt occurs an
nually. Trained hounds are held in leash
until the lair of the bears is shifted and
then they are let go. OFF rush the brist-
ling beasts. They run fast, and the
faster they skip along the wider and
nader they get. Sometimes they
are shot, but the correct style of killing
is to use a long spear or a short sword
like knife. The hunter spies his boarship
speeding along in an almost straight line
blinded with rage and ferocity. Bend
ing sideways to the earth the sportsman
thrusts his spear dull end downward in
the soil and the sharp point slanting up
ward and turned directly to the boar s
path. Straight on the wild boar rushes
and with all the impetus of his long
flight plunges upon the spear point, and
there impaled, dies bloody death.
Although no boars are found among
the wild animals of the United States,
naturalsts have no fear that they cannot
live in this climate and will thrive. The
ordinary hog if allowed to run wild will
become savage in three generations, and
both the newly imported bears and any
farmers pigs belong to the same family

Surprises in Surgery.

Numerous instances have been recorded
of late in the medical journals of the
complete reunion of portions of fingers
which had been cut off from the hand,
in some cases by the knife and in others
by the ak. In one case man, in cutting
kindlings for the morning fire, acct
dentaEy cut off the end of his thumb.
He had gone from the place some twenty
feet. when he returned. picked up the
end. wiped it and replaced it. binding it
in its original place as nearly as possible.
The wound united. and the finger is now
as good as ever. save that its sensibility is
somewhat diminished. In another case
a boy chopped off the ends of three
fingers He was seen by physician
three CT four hours after the accident.
The ends of the fingers had been found
in the SNOW. and We're brought to him.
He attached them, and two of the three

THE SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT.
How Wealth Tries to Make Assurance
Doubly Sure-Locks and Safes.

How Wealth Tries to Make Assurance
Doubly Sure-Locks and Safes.
1t is a long way, in fact, from the
simple contrivances of classic times for
protecting ready wealth to the Golfers
and money chests, the secret drawers
and guarded treasures of Florence and
Venice. And from them it is still a
longer one through the clumsy safes and
rude locks of the last century to the pres
ent almost perfect treasure vaults, proof
against fire or flood. against both sharp
edged tools and any charges of powder or
dynamite that burglar may safely USE
The present safety vault has of course
grown out of the old safe, and is really
only perfected modern bank safe on an
enlarged plan. The average safe is an
iron and steel box, some four to six feet
in height by four feet in breadth and
depth. 1t has thick door, made in half
a dozen layers of unequal size, heavily
bolted together. and opens by a combina-
ton of movements on an exterior knob.
The safe deposit vault is another big
box, also of steel and iron. some ten feet
in height and twelve feet in length. built
in, like a prisoners cell. with heavy
wall of brick, mortar and cement, and
opening by door almost foot in thick
ness into larger room which contains it.
All that ingenuity can do has been done
to make the body of the vault impregna-
bic and to put the secret of the intricate
lock beyond chance of guessing. The
cell inside is lined with drawers and
boxes, each locked and bolted. The
whole thing is a safe within safe, MAX
ing assurance doubly sure at but slightly
higher rates for nervous and cautious de-
posltors.
Safe deposit vaults are built by only a
few of the large safe makers. The metal
used for the walls of the vault is a mix
ture of iron and steel melted together at
high heat and tempered throughout as
finely and evenly as possible. The result
is homogeneous. almost flawless sur
face. which deties alike the burglar S
tools or the flames of big fire. A wall
three inches in thickness is laid on in
plates with heavy bolts of the same ma
terial, and the whole side is then shut in
with "A stout covering of fire proof brick
and finely mixed cement. Particular
care, of course, is taken with the door,
which is the only part exposed after the
outer wall is built. The plates are doubled.
braced and re-braced, of various sizes ac-
cording to the layers, over tapping and
falling short. but all SO piled and blended
together that while one holds all will
hold and the treasures within will still be
safe. The lock combination is made sc
intricate. too, that it needs one man s
mind working all the time to keep III
with it.
The demand for vaults is comparatively
small now, but the makers agree that
there will be a large increase in the
number used before ten years pass
People are just beginning to realize what
mental relief it is to have one S valuables
absolutely secure from accident or theft
and that comfortable feeling is sure tc
spread even if it entails the building OF
costlier safety vaults than those we have
now. New York Tribune.

about $50 miles southeast of Newfound-
land on the 18th. 1t reached Ireland

Diffusion of Wealth.

Twenty millions of dollars in a village
does not make that village rich if it is all
owned by two men; but if that amount is
spread evenly all over the village then it
is different. Money in the hands of one
or two men is like dungheap in barn
yard. So long as it lies in a mass it does
no good but if it was only spread evenly
on the land how everything would grow
Money is like snow. If it is blown into
drifts it blocks up the highway and
nobody can travel, but if it lies evenly
distributed over all the ground it facili-
tates every mans travel Wealth is good
if diffused, but not if boarded. Henry
Ward Beecher.

Handwriting in London.

Handshaking is an obsolete custom in
London drawing rooms, and for some
time past it has been the fashion not to
introduce persons. The proper form Of
acknowledging an introduction when
made is for the lady to give the least nod
OF the head to the left and not in front,
as used to be the old, graceful style. In
this country, where it has become the
fashion to extend these customs, the
same unsociability prevails in the COM
pany Chicago Times.
